He soon discovers that the missing bride had been investigating a shadowy group, one whose power has gone unchallenged for decades. As Silence scrambles to piece together the fragments of the woman’s unfinished work, he unearths a scheme more twisted than he could have possibly imagined.

To figure out who needs a bullet between the eyes, Silence must root out a dark subculture that has infected a city for years - and take on a villain who’s willing to destroy countless lives to cover his tracks.

Great story!

The story of Silence gets better and better. I look forward to the next book in the series. The narrator tells the story well.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Silence is back and even better in this book. The narrator has done a great job.

Silence can and does kill

Silence Jones’ new mission is to find the person responsible for the disappearance and eventual murder of a new bride. The woman had a point to prove and did so by investigating a deeply dark group. However, like most things that Jones becomes embroiled in, nothing is cut and dry. Jones finds himself neck-deep in deception, murder, and more.

The author, Erik Carter has created a vigilante assassin character that everyone should hate, but one cannot help but admire and at times feel a little sympathy towards. The life of Silence is rich in adventure and action, misdirection, intrigue, and secret groups. The touch of detail about Silence’s voice adds to his character’s depth. Carter weaves a story around this character showing his flaws, strengths, and struggles. Carter artfully inserts a few plot twists along the way until the end.

The narrator, Gary Bennett gives a strong performance endearing listeners to Silence’s deep and gravelly voice. When one must perform a character who says one-to-two-word sentences, it takes skill to project all emotion into them to have the strongest and most meaningful impact. Bennett’s voice is smooth when needed and he provides unique voices to all. Bennett is definitely versatile.

This is a series that will keep you coming back for more. An easy listen that draws you in and keeps you there until the last word is spoken.

Once again, this author and narrator receive the Audiobook Reviewer’s Choice Award. This award is given only to those books that deserve higher than the standard five-star ranking system.

The production and quality of this audiobook were perfect. I encountered no issues; it was clear and crisp.

A Nail Biter!

What an enjoyable second book! This is a great suspenseful tale which did not turn out like I thought it would. I love it when that happens! I enjoyed meeting all the characters. They were well done and lively.

This is my second book by this author for me and they just keep getting better. I did listen to this on audio. Gary Bennett does an excellent job narrating. His gruff voice of Silence reminds me of Clint Eastwood’s voice.

Vulnerability Wins

Another banger!! Absolutely love Silence Jones as a character and watching his development. I am usually very unhappy when my protagonist is shown to be vulnerable and not immune to harm or making mistakes, but this story made Silence even more easy to relate to.

Silence was shown to still be haunted by his (recent) past from the loss of the love of his life and relating to one of the other characters in the book. I'm looking even more towards the next novel. Gary's narration keeps things moving with even relatable tones and that itself keeps you from disengaging from any portions of the book that might be a bit "slower".

Keep up the good work.
